Eleven people died crashes involving automated cars during a four-month period earlier this year, according to information recently released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In addition to the Teslas, one of the deadly crashes involved a Ford pickup truck. Although, it’s unclear whether automation played a role in the wrecks, the government report puts a spotlight on safety concerns as automated vehicles skyrocket in popularity.

The 11 crashes between  mid-May and the end of September were released with other statistics on Monday.

The report renewed concerns over whether automated vehicles are safe for others on the road, especially motorcyclists.
